Hello from sunny Mansfield, Ohio!! It’s not quite spring…it really, really wants to be, but it’s just not quite made it – and boy are we ready!!! Daffodils are looking nervous…
And now for some BIG news…
Susan, Terri and I have been busy girls…our dream of a permanent location for “occasional markets” has come true, and we have taken up residence on the square in downtown Mansfield (yes, we’re doing the happy dance!!!).
We’ve been painting, redecorating, painting (oh, I said that…), and stockpiling lots of furniture, smalls, our redesigned jewelry and picture frames, signs…and SO MUCH MORE!!! We’ve even got room in the basement to play, I mean paint, build, and store our treasures for our upcoming markets and shows this year!! Here’s our storefront…
Magnolia…taking center stage in the front window – she’s anticipating a line at the front door on April 4th (so are we!!!)… She’s modeling one of Terri’s newest necklaces…fabulous “dahling”!!!
Terri’s crosses…
A couple of my new necklaces…
A sampling of a couple of Susan’s frames…
Here are the details:

I painted/stenciled this to top off one of our display cabinets…
Before (at the back of the store)
After – perfect and ready for some of Susan’s fabulous redesigned picture frames, etc. (and you can see that the furniture is piling up)
Our new “signature” color on the wall – love it!!
Check out the “check out” area…
We had to divide the space, so we hinged some old doors together – added some chalkboard paint to one, chicken wire to the next, and voila – a very fun-ctional wall!!
That’s all I can share for now (we’ve got soooo much to do)…stay tuned and make plans to occasionally shop at our “market”!!
